For sole trader plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, and field service professionals in the UK, missed calls while on a job site are the #1 source of lost revenue.
When you are under a sink, rewiring a consumer unit, or high up on scaffolding, answering a ringing phone is unsafe and impractical. Yet, when a customer with an emergency leak or power fault gets no answer, 85% do not leave a voicemail—they simply call the next trade listing on Google.
